It's a catch 22 isnt' it? For as bad as I've had it, I've never had PPP - I have had P since I was 13 and I had a nasty guttate flare in June last year which had me 80% covered. My father gets PPP and Pustular P - which is just awful. Has it ever been suggested that you take Methotraxate for it? I started on it at the start of November and haven't looked back - I would be down to 40% now I reckon and improving all the time. It's hard though when treatment is such an individual thing - I tried the natural path with an elimination diet and natural ointments, but with no success - I just didn't respond to it, so that's when I started the MTX. I use topical tar-based ointments as well as they seem to work best for me.

There are some interesting links between lifestyle and p that I've read too, I can link you if you like? And have you come across the National Psoriasis Foundation in the US? There is nothing locally based in Australia (which is a pity) but this a great resource.
